License and usage

• Personal use: Free to use and customize.
• Commercial use: Check the included Readme for license details — attribution may be required.
• Modification: Allowed unless the Readme specifies otherwise.

How to download

1. Click the download link on the icon page (or the provided ZIP file).
2. Save the ZIP to your Downloads folder.
3. Extract the ZIP to a location you’ll remember (e.g., Documents/Mindy-Icons).

Installing on macOS

1. Open Finder and navigate to the extracted PNG folder.
2. Open the PNG you want in Preview. Press Command+A, then Command+C to copy.
3. In Finder, right-click the folder you want to change and select “Get Info.”
4. Click the small folder icon at the top-left of the Info window, then press Command+V to paste.
5. Close the Info window — the new icon should appear. If it doesn’t, log out and back in or restart Finder.

Installing on Windows

1. Right-click the folder you want to customize and choose “Properties.”
2. Go to the “Customize” tab and click “Change Icon…”
3. Click “Browse…” and select the ICO file from the extracted icon set.
4. Select the icon and click OK, then Apply. The new icon should be visible immediately.

Tips for consistent organization

• Use one icon size and color variant per project type (e.g., blue for active projects, gray for archives).
• Keep a master “Icons” folder with subfolders labeled by resolution and OS for easy future use.
• Use matching file-type icons (documents, spreadsheets) to complete the visual system.

Troubleshooting

• If icons revert after a restart, clear your icon cache:
  • macOS: Restart Finder or log out/in.
  • Windows: Rebuild the icon cache via Disk Cleanup or delete IconCache.db and restart.
• Blurry icons? Use the highest-resolution PNG (512×512) or the multi-resolution ICO.

Preview and variants

• The set includes colored and minimal monochrome variants to match light or dark desktop themes. Preview images in the ZIP show how icons look in both macOS and Windows environments.

Final notes

The Mindy Project folder icon set is an easy way to personalize and professionalize your workspace. Follow the installation steps for your OS, organize icons by project type, and refer to the included Readme for license specifics.
